I have a 06 JGC laredo......when the passenger window is all the way down, if I bring the window up by using the automatic command, it will stop about halfway then go back down on its own. Sometimes is will go all the way up and close completely, but most of the time it will stop half-way and go back down. Really getting annoying. Is anybody else experiencing this.....somebody has got to be.

Just a thought - it could be that the power window (child) safety switch is defective or something is triggering it.

Inside the passenger footwell, high near the blower motor is a flat four pin connector. Unsnap it, spray it clean and wipe a bit of copper paste anti-seize into each little female pin hole. Press the connector back together. The connector apparently gets a resistance and an oxide forms. The copper paste makes a solid electrical connection. If no success, meter the voltage at the connector power side, to track down the lost voltage. Possibly a fuse. DaFlikkers

That bright red light, IF seen in conjunction with another seperate indicator light in the center console panel switches, indicates that the passenger seat is un-occupied or has a small weight load (child) on it. The passenger airbag is turned off when that light is lit. This can be a good thing, and save an airbag destroyed dashboard, in a 'hard hit' front end collison. Or it can be bad if ... a normal weight is in the passenger seat. In that scenario, the passenger would not be protected. It also serves as an indicator of any air bag sensor/connector malfunction diagnosed as well. DaFlikkers

The switch correctly engages fan motor from off to any position (A/C, heat, defrost, mix) but directs air to defrost only. I have replaced the switch (did not correct the issue) but fear that something behind the dash is causing problems. have dash 1/2 off but cannot ID the problem Any help?

I took my 03 jgc to a mechanic who diagnosed the problem. look up the bbb to find a reputable shop. I had a problem with my jeep and it was the 3 control knobs, its sold a set of 3 knobs. there is a sensor in the control panel that is connected to the computer system. it controls the temperature of when the knob is turned to heat or cold. You may also have to replace the expansion valve to ensure a proper job. It worked for me. it runs about $450 but money well spent. It took me 5 years and 1300 dollars to resolve the problem.....

I have the same problem with Fan relay on my 2004 Grand Cherokee. I even took it to my mechanic because he did not believe me over the phone that I do not have any fan relay under the passenger light. There are only 3 holes and no sign of any relay or wires for it. Does any one else have any info that could help me figure it out where to look for that FAN RELAY ??? Thank you in advance.. Marcel

I wish I had more of an answer for you, but I'll give you what I have: I also have a 2003 JGC. I bought it used during mild weather, and like an idiot, never even checked the heat. The A/C seemed to work good. Along comes winter........and the heater blows just as cold as the A/C. At first, I would occasionally get some heat randomly upon starting the vehicle....but as soon as I touched any control knob, back to cold air. I researched this on-line, and to my dismay, found that this is actually a pretty common problem on the JGC once they hit 60-65K miles. Also discovered that it can be a $1500-$3,000 fix- the problem is with the "blend doors" that stop working correctly, and will eventually break and stick either in the open (nothing but heat) or closed (nothing but cold) position. The blend doors are a $300 part- the rest is in labor, as they have to remove the entire dash to fix it. My problem has only gotten worse- now the fan has quit, so now the A/C doesn't even work. I've seen that there is a kit you can purchase for $150-$300 (find them on Ebay) that is an alternative fix which involves cutting out the back of the glove box to access the original part. Apparently, after this fix you will get heat/A/C, but it bypasses some of the original automatic climate controls, leaving you with limited control.

I had the same problem when I purchased my 2004 JGC Limited. It was purchased last August. It was a trade-in at a Mecedes dealer. The A/C worked fine (at least I thought it did). In September we had a one day cold snap so I tried the heater. Only cold air came out. I found out as you did that the blend-doors are a problem on these cars and the dealer wants an arm and a leg to repair it. After some searching I found the kit with the fix behind the glove compartment and installed it. It's now 10 months since the installation and everything is still fine. The climate control works as designed for both the driver and passenger side. I also had a problem with the blower-motor harness which I purchased at the dealer for $25 and replaced it myself. The kit for the blend-doors were purchased on E-Bay. There are two kits available. One gives you back full control of the system while the other gives you control with one dial. You should check the fault codes to be sure the problem is with the blend doors. I hope my experience helps you.
